AND THE WINNER IS

Code of Honor is by freshman sire and turf router, Noble Mission. The full brother to European Champ Frankel won at 1 1/2 miles. The stallion has three dirt winners, but the bulk are best over turf and Polytrack. His babies will mature with age.

Code of Honor’s distaff line is speed-oriented. His dam is a graded stakes-winning sprinter, and he’s a half-brother to Big League, who placed in the Best Pal (G2) as a 2-year-old. A half-sister bore Successful Zip, who was second in this year’s Sapling Stakes at Monmouth. Code of Honor’s second generation is filled with stakes winners and stakes placed sprinter/milers, and his second dam Tivli is a stakes winning sprinter. Dixie Union is the damsire of 2-year-old champ New Year’s Day, Met mile winner Mor Spirit and Remsen winner Mohayman, to name a few. None have won beyond 1 1/8 miles.

Derby Distance Verdict: Borderline. Code of Honor has a stamina over speed pedigree. In recent years, these types have done pretty well in the Derby. This colt overcame a bad trip in only his second start, and that’s always a good thing. Keep him on the watch list.

I certainly would not be surprised if he does well on the dirt preps this spring but also would not be surprised if he eventually ends up as a nice grass horse. I'm staying off his Derby bandwagon unless he lights up a 9F prep in Mar/Apr.
